Basal metabolic rate: The key to health and good body shape

Basal metabolic rate - The key to health and good posture

Do you have such feelings: "Why is the body more and more difficult to control as you get older, and your belly is getting bigger and bigger, unlike when you are adolescents, it is not easy to get fat? 　　The key to the problem is the decline in the "basal metabolic rate", which is closely related to our health and posture.

Simple explanation of "basal metabolic rate"

"The minimum calories required to maintain life in a day." Maintaining a person's body temperature, organ operation, blood circulation, chemical reactions of body tissues, etc.

As the height and amount of basic muscles of each person, on average, it is about 1,500-1,700 calories for boys, and about 1,100-1,200 calories for girls.

Important function of basal metabolism "burn calories ”

If we assume that we are not active in a day, but we are taking 2,000 calories.

Simply subtracting 2,000 from the average basal metabolic rate of men and women, boys will leave 500-300 calories per day, while girls will 900-800 calories. These calories will be converted into fat and retained in us.

The higher our basal metabolism, the more calories we can burn in life and exercise. Relatively, we are less likely to produce annoying fat. That is, the "easy body" we often see

On the contrary: If your basal metabolism gets lower and lower, you will become fat by eating a little bit, which is what we often say that drinking water will make you fat

So, it is very important to understand your own metabolic rate!

Where does basal metabolism come from?

About 40% come from skeletal muscle (muscle), and about 60% come from the brain and other organs.

Because we are not able to change the daily caloric consumption of the brain and other organs, the increase or decrease of basal metabolism in each of our people is mainly related to skeletal muscle.

The so-called "skeletal muscle" is simply the muscles that make people move. They can increase after correct training and produce more basal metabolism.

Each 1 kilogram of skeletal muscle can bring about 30 to 50 calories of basal metabolic rate.

【Note】Your muscle is losing

Many people don’t know that after the age of 25, growth hormone stops secretion. If there is a lack of exercise for a certain degree of intensity in life, our skeletal muscle will lose 1-2% year by year.

When there are fewer skeletal muscles, our basal metabolism will also decrease accordingly. When the calories that can be metabolized every day become less, more and more fat will naturally begin to accumulate.

This is the main reason for "being fat in middle-aged people". In addition, muscle loss will cause us to be inconvenient to move! We must cherish precious muscles very much.

The key correct way to solve problems - exercise!

There are many forms of exercise: Please take "retaining muscles" as your first goal.

Only having enough muscles can you have a high basal metabolic rate. Therefore, no matter men, women, young and old, everyone should undergo "weight training" to maintain or increase muscles.

Ps: Especially for girls: girls themselves are not as rich as boys, and it is difficult to obtain muscles. They must cherish muscles more!

When basal metabolism becomes higher, the calories consumed will naturally increase, and body fat can also follow them. Decrease, and because of enough muscles, your blood circulation will be better and the risk of cardiovascular disease will be reduced.

While getting healthy, you can also get a better body shape!

So, please change your previous concept. Exercise is not just about running and sweating.

The older you are, the more you should cherish your muscles! Weight training is crucial! Whether it is building muscles or reducing fat, it is the first choice

Only with the correct concepts and methods of exercise can you have the most effective, long-term and safe changes and growth.
